The Proficient Pilot Volume 2

In his new foreword to The Proficient Pilot, Volume 2, Space Shuttle
Crewmember Jay Apt summarizes Barry Schiff's contribution to aviation in this
book with these words:

"He writes with a practical eye for details that matter. Throughout the
book, he makes aviation theory understandable and always translates it into
sensible advice that a pilot can readily use...I'll read this one every year as
part of my personal attempt to remain proficient...this book will not only
increase your proficiency, it will greatly increase your love of flying."

Schiff disposes of popular misconceptions about cruise control, flying in
turbulence, coping with wind shear, and obtaining meaningful performance data.
